The research is geared at discovering major threats to the environment from oil and gas refining, outcomes of stakeholders (Government actors, Environmental Organisations, State Enterprises, International Companies and general public) involvement in environment conflicts in Africa and also to proffer solutions to potential risks from oil and gas refining in Africa. The overall purpose is to ensure good environmental condition and sustainability globally.

I would advice new master students that you set a goal for yourself and follow a proper timetable daily to avoid distractions as it is very easy to get distracted with other activities in the environment. Also, I would advice that you start working on your research interest as early as possible to have enough time and a well structured thesis in the end.
